“I have physically, mentally, emotionally and verbally been a repulsive man,” Brown wrote in a journal entry. “I have abused my wife.”

Brown was also reportedly abusive toward his wife at the 2015 Pro Bowl and the NFL helped her change hotel rooms. During a radio interview Thursday afternoon with WFAN, Giants owner John Mara said the team was aware that NFL security stepped into to protect Brown’s wife at the Pro Bowl.

.@Giants' Mara: "He’s certainly admitted to us that he’s abused his wife in the past. I think what’s not clear is the extent of that.” What?

“In light of the news reports regarding the documents released by the State of Washington yesterday, we think it makes sense to review this newly disclosed information and to revisit this issue following our trip to London,” the team said in a statement. “The Giants do not condone or excuse any form of domestic violence. Josh has acknowledged that he has issues in his life and has been working on these issues through therapy and counseling for a long period of time.”
